=====Methods=====
The research method involved developing qualitative scenarios to incorporate various social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors influencing the future of water resources. These scenarios were refined through iterative rounds of development, discussion, feedback, and improvement, involving experts from diverse fields. Mathematical simulation models were used to analyze the consistency and coherence of the qualitative scenarios and explore their consequences.  \\

=====Key Insights=====
This research report outlines three potential global water scenarios, each based on different assumptions about how current trends in economics, demographics, technology, society, environment, and governance might evolve. The scenarios are Business-as-Usual (BAU), Economics, Technology and Private Sector (TEC), and Values and Lifestyles (VAL). BAU assumes no major policy changes, TEC relies on market solutions and technology, and VAL envisions a shift in human values and international cooperation. The report discusses the implications of each scenario for water resources, sustainability, and potential crises, highlighting the need for systemic, integrated decision-making to manage water resources sustainably.  \\
